Embodiment Construction
[0031]Referring now to FIG. 1, a broach 10 of known geometry that is being inserted within a femur 12 is connected to a broach handle 14 having a navigation frame 16 associated with it. The frame 16 carries a plurality of elements 18 extending in different directions in space. These elements may, for example, be infrared reflective elements such as are commonly used in conventional surgical navigation systems. A controller 20 receives signals from the elements 18 and from these determines the instantaneous position of the broach handle and thus of the broach. The controller may be of conventional type, e.g., an infrared emitter which receives reflections from the elements 18 and from these determines the position (i.e., location and orientation) of the frame with respect to itself and thus with respect to other objects of known relation to it.
[0032]The controller 20 in turn provides output to a monitor and controller 22 which provides the functions of an augmented surgical navigatio...
